"Don’t say such pitiful things to gain others’ sympathy, it won’t work at all!" Fresh chapters posted on novel·fiɾe·net
"Your nieces and I are not related at all. Whether they’re pitiful or not has nothing to do with me. I only care about my clothes. Where exactly have you sent them?"
"Since you’ve sent them to your niece’s house, hurry up and bring my clothes back. Otherwise, I have the right to hold you accountable."
Even now, with evidence against her, Mrs. Fu still spoke rudely when facing Jiang Xin.
It seemed as if she believed that by constantly playing the victim, she could garner everyone’s sympathy.
After all, just now Jiang Xin was on the weaker side, and everyone in the village was speaking up for her.
So now, if she acted pitiful and talked about the miserable experiences of her nieces, the villagers would compare Jiang Xin to her nieces and immediately think that Jiang Xin was being too extravagant.
Thus, Mrs. Fu stuck to her belief, cursing over there, and after hearing Jiang Xin’s words, she immediately responded that Jiang Xin lacked empathy:
"How can you, little girl, have not an ounce of empathy?"
"The nieces from my family are the same age as you. You may live without worries of food or clothes, but you don’t know the kind of tough life my nieces are living."
"It’s truly the fault of your parents raising you to be cunning and harsh, turning you into someone so heartless, like donkey’s liver and lungs."
Mrs. Fu cursed loudly, leaving Jiang Xin utterly puzzled, having no idea what sort of mindset Mrs. Fu had.
It seemed everything she just said was all in vain.
She truly hadn’t taken in a single word!
How is this any different from playing music to a cow?
Jiang Xin’s heart was filled with immense anger, realizing all the words she had spoken were completely ignored.
They didn’t listen at all and stuck to their own beliefs.
Jiang Xin was somewhat speechless and didn’t indulge Mrs. Fu. She directly retorted:
"Is it that you can’t understand human language, or what is it? Have my words not been direct and clear enough?"
"How your family’s nieces are living miserably has nothing to do with me. Instead of wasting time talking nonsense with me here, why don’t you talk to your brother and sister-in-law about why they’re treating their daughters so poorly!"
"No stranger will sympathize with your nieces for no reason. To them, I’m just a completely unrelated stranger, so naturally, I have no curiosity about their lives."
"I don’t care what mentality you had in giving my clothes to them, but please, at this moment, immediately return my clothes!"
"The dresses my parents spent so much money on won’t just be simply taken away by you to curry favor."
Jiang Xin’s words left the villagers nodding, agreeing that what she said was very reasonable.
After all, every word she spoke was logical and clear, without delay.
Anyone with sense could understand it.
Jiang Xin now was clear about one thing: that was to immediately return her dress. Otherwise, she would pursue Mrs. Fu for the crime of burglary.
After all, no one is a fool; her parents spent so much money on that dress.
Even the tags hadn’t been removed before it was stolen. Who wouldn’t be angry in such a situation?
If she could get her dress back, there might be a turning point in this matter.
It all depended on how firm Mrs. Fu could be.
At this moment, seeing as they had been long-time neighbors, the villagers couldn’t help but urge Mrs. Fu, seeing her stubbornly stuck in her ways:
"Come on, stop being so stubborn. Instead of wasting time here, why don’t you hurry to your family and get those dresses back."
"That way, you might get a more lenient treatment."
Upon hearing these words, Mrs. Fu’s expression finally showed some hesitation, thinking over the villagers’ advice.
However, in her heart, she knew all too well what kind of people her family was.
She feared that even if she wanted to retrieve the dresses, it wouldn’t be possible. It was truly a difficult situation.
